I’m sorry but this place is the worst Cuban cafeteria I’ve ever been to never again negative 5 stars

I purchased a few empanadas, and I was given them cold and still frozen inside after biting into one and my spouse, biting into another. We realize it was frozen. I went back inside and kindly explain to them that were. They were not cooked properly and still cold within the inside. The lady then proceeded to tell me she can refry the ones that we bit into but will not be giving me new ones, which I found to be absolutely absurd. I used to come here all the time while have they changed. Their coffee was not up to par. They have definitely lost their edge have been coming here for years just not the same. They will not be getting my business again. I actually just gave them back to empanadas and requested no money back. I was utterly disgusted and told them to keep the empanadas not to worry about it they need the money more than I do apparently

Best Cuban bakery in Margate. Vickie Bakery is near me but I'd rather go to El Recreo due the great food and cost. Don Jesus is always there to greet you

All the front desk and cleaning staff were on their phones and not paying attention to the customer.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ El Recreo Cuban Bakery in the City of Margate is an absolute gem! It’s a true hole-in-the-wall spot that’s always buzzing with people—and for good reason. The food and coffee here are outstanding! If you don’t mind waiting in line, you’ll be rewarded with some of the best Cuban coffee around, along with their delicious egg sandwiches and perfectly crispy croquetas. The atmosphere is lively, the smells are incredible, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. This place captures the true flavor and spirit of a classic Cuban bakery. 100% worth the wait every time!

Wanted to share how happy I was with our photo 1/2 sheet cake from this weekend. Easy to order, on time, they did exactly what was asked to perfection. Let's not leave out how absolutely beautiful and delicious it was. I would definitely recommend trying. Thanks so much. ♥️

They Best Cuban spot in town
It’s my second time today coming here and I love it! Will definitely be returning every time I’m in the area.
not as good as when the older lady was there, but pretty yummy 😋
This is the third time that I've come here where their hours show that they're open, but they're closed.
